Who exactly do you represent? Gov. Deval Patrick dodges questions about how muchwelfare benefitsthe Chechen terrorists got from his state, citing their "privacy".

-

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and his state agencies are refusing to release information on what government benefits Boston jihadist Tamerlan Tsarnaev received, following a national furor over reports he and his family received welfare.

Their reason? It would violate the dead terrorist's right to privacy!

That's right. Led by the stalwart Boston Herald, media entities pressed for info all day. Across the board, state agencies flatly refused to provide information about the taxpayer-funded lifestyle for the 26-year-old man and his brother and accomplice Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19.

On EBT card status or spending, the Mass. state welfare spokesman would only say Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and 3-year-old daughter received benefits that ended in 2012. He declined further comment.

On unemployment compensation, the Mass. labor department spokesman refused to disclose whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev ever collected, saying it was confidential and not a matter of public record.

On public housing, officials ducked questions on whether the brothers were ever on Section 8 assistance.

Friends and relatives report that the Chechen jihadist who trained to murder Americans had received ALL of these benefits on the taxpayer's dime, but our public officials are protecting his "privacy" - and he wasn't even a citizen!

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Gov. Patrick's bureaucrats are going to such lengths to protect the "privacy" of a deceased non-citizen Muslim terrorist who murdered 4 people, including an 8-year old boy.

After all this is the same governor who protects the privacy of illegal alien criminals, by refusing to participate in the Secure Communitiesprogram wherein suspects fingerprints are sent to the FBI to be checked for immigration status. Because of Gov, Patrick's refusal, an Ecuadorean illegal who assaulted a police officer in 2009 was never deported as required by law. That illegal, Nicolas Guaman, went on to DUI-kill student Matthew Denice - dragging his body under his truck for half a mile.

And the Feds got into the rally-round-the-terrorist act today too!

When pressed on whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev had an "Obama Phone" - and may have possibly even used one to trigger the Boston Marathon bombs - the Federal Communications Commission remained tight-lipped, refusing to say whether either brother had a government-paid cellphone,also citing privacy laws.

DEMOCRAT Gorvernor Patrick is just one of many of our corrupt liberal ruling class circling the wagons to try to shield the extent to which they have been going to support and to enable various anti-American entities such as the Moslem jihadists.

This should be a major issue in the special MA special election for the U.S. Senate seat that Kerry gave up to go to SoS. Let’s see just how bad the average MA voter is or is not. This is as good an opportunity as they will have to show what they are.

It’s all a lie and a charade to protect THEM from criticism over how much of the public’s money they gave to terrorists. I think inquiring minds want to know just how screwed up Boston and this country really are.

Patriots who have a grip on basic constitutonal law can tell you that privacy rights are beside the point concerning this issue. The problem is that, with the exception of military purposes, none of the clauses in Congress's Article I, Section 8-limited powers reasonably give Congress the power to appropriate funds to buy phones for ordinary citizens, no matter how rich or poor they are.

In fact, as mentioned in related threads, Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes for any purpose that it cannot justify under its Article I, Section 8-limited powers, using tax dollars to buy phones for citizens being a 10th Amendment-protected state power.

Its all a lie and a charade to protect THEM from criticism over how much of the publics money they gave to terrorists. I think inquiring minds want to know just how screwed up Boston and this country really are.

EXACTLY! It's the rat's "right" to privacy that they're concerned about. Our rat PUBLIC SERVANTS in action. All they care about is keeping their gravy train going. Of course the voters won't really care - it's got to be some white guy's fault - some Tea Party person - some mean wing nut. The rats are outrageously blatant because they know they'll get away with it.

Good point. The citizens of Watertown had NO rights to privacy during the time this bastard was on the loose. It's pretty obvious the Dems are hiding embarrassing or even incriminating information, and perhaps not what we're expecting either.

Meanwhile these same leftists had NO problem with that newspaper in New York listing every single gun owner..they were just fine with that but showing how much money a terrorist got, no they have a HUGE problem with that one

It used to be when a foreigner came to this country with a real green card (sponsored by some citizen, normally), that person (sponsor) was required to attest they WOULD NOT LET the person involved become a public burden. It was this way in 1976 when I brought my wife here. She had REAL interviews with INS, lots of them. She had to be able to speak real English, she had to really pass tests, etc.

That no longer appears to be the case. Our government is so invested in creating new Democrat voters, they are willing to allow Muslim terrorists in, damned the cost.

What is even more amazing to me is that Patrick and the other officials actually believe that they can keep this information secret. No way. It’s gonna come out...there will be hell to pay until it does..it would have made far more sense for them to release it immediately..

(Not every Muslim is a terrorist, but just about every terrorist is a Muslim..)

DIMocRATs never fail to amaze. Anything that impinges on their sick perspective on anything is off limits. At least this is happening in MA where the LIB moron population deserves everything they get. Total losers.
